Pinta throws unhandled exception when invoking CUT (^X) or COPY (^C)

[Mitch Golden]

Installing the version of pinta in the 14.04 LTS repository, (1.3-3) if I select a region of an image and hit ^X, I receive a popup about an unhandled reflection invocation. This happens every time. Below is the message.

Note that if I use pinta 1.5 from the stable ppa repo it works fine.

I should add that I am using Kubuntu 14.04.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

At least in vivid it seems to work fine.

Cameron mentioned an upstream commit that might possibly fix this

This works fine for me now in Trusty. What about others?
